| Abstract: | Adhesins contained in the preparation of Vi-antigen have been found to enhance its immunogenic and protective properties. In the preparations of Vi-antigen obtained from Salmonella typhi and Citrobacter freundii the presence of two antigenic determinants has been revealed. One of them is associated with the Vi-receptor and the other determinant, with adhesin. Both determinants take part in the protection of mice from Salmonella infection. |
